The second volume of the Circle trilogy was pretty much more of the same. This time around, though, I found I enjoyed the characters a lot more. Rachelle in particular managed to get a lot less annoying.

I don't think I would recommend this series unless you're the type of person who typically enjoys Christian fiction ( )

Stunning! Had thoroughly enjoyed Black, but found this was even better. Full of allegory, but full of clever twists and turns so that not sure where it's going next. Couple of the chapters virtually brought tears to my eyes! So good I went straight to the third book in the trilogy! ( )

The "empire Strikes Back" of the Triology, good but not as good as teh first and last! ( )

I have to be honest, when I first started on Dekker's first book of the circle trilogy, Black, I was unsure how I would feel about it. But I trekked on and I'm glad I did. I was so sucked into the story.

Red continues and doesn't let you down. Amazing, and wonderful. I can't begin to described how moved I was by this story. And it keeps you on the edge of your seat. You simply can't wait for more.

I can't wait to start White! ( )

Dekker's "Red" continues a trilogy begun in "Black" intended to be classic thriller, scifi other-world story, and an allegory for the Christian story of the fall through redemption. Red is better than Black, which was already pretty good, and the allegorical elements came together better this time around, and the characters felt more developed. Very good, and I'm looking forward to the finale! ( )

Book description

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0849917913, Hardcover)

"We have stepped off the cliff and are falling into madness."

The mind-bending pace of Black accelerates in Red, Book Two of Ted Dekker's groundbreaking Circle trilogy. Less than a month ago, Thomas Hunter was a failed writer selling coffee at the Java Hut in Denver. Now he finds himself in a desperate quest to rescue two worlds from collapse. In one world, he's a battle-scarred general commanding an army of primitive warriors. In the other, he's racing to outwit sadistic terrorists intent on creating global chaos through an unstoppable virus.

Two worlds on the brink of destruction. One unthinkable solution.

Enter an adrenaline-laced epic where dreams and reality collide. Nothing is as it seems, as Black turns to Red
